About

An itinerant art gallery in New York City, USA
permanent locaton in Bern, Switzerland

Ada Friedman

b. Washington, D.C., USA, 1984
Lives and works in Texas Hill Country & Brooklyn, NY, USA

Ada Friedman’s art is rooted in paint, routine, and ritual. Her paintings exist in different fields of action and poetry; of varying spaces of concreteness, collaboration, and interiority. Works are typically double-sided, each side a painting unto itself and part of a multifaceted whole. Moved by the artist’s holistic drive to make worlds, her approach to the medium transforms paper - her prima materia - and discreet collections of idiosyncratic materials into symphonic accord for adventurous, graceful paintings.
